We had a great meal at Foundry on Elm. Lots and lots of choices for vegetarians and pescatarians (as well as omnivores). There were 6 of us and each entree was delicious. Serving staff are pleasant, efficient and responsive. The restaurant was crowded (Saturday night in Davis Square) but it didn't feel too loud and we had no trouble hearing each other during our conversation. We will come back again!

While visiting the Cambridge area we wanted some good Mexican Food and we found it at the Border Cafe. This a great place with lots of atmosphere, loud music and great food. All the food we ordered was great along with some good Margaritas. If you are in the area of Harvard stop in for some Mexican, you wonât go wrong. Just make sure you are not in a hurry because you are going to wait for a table.

We had a great dinner at the bar. Great service and plenty of room. We had a couple of local craft beers (they also had a nice wine selection): started with calamari appetizer and continued with a Tuna BLT and a lobster roll. Great atmosphere

Highland Kitchen is a family-owned neighborhood restaurant and bar located "up the hill" in the heart of Somerville. HK has been delivering American comfort food, well-crafted cocktails, friendly service and a killer jukebox since 2007.

This is such a great spot. Cool, hipster vibe, great service (Victoria), and the food is always simple and delicious. We enjoyed an early family dinner on a recent Saturday. If you donât want to wait for a table- get there at 5pm when they open. Our favorites include the deviled eggs, the chicken liver toasts, the black bean burger, the shrimp and grits, and the grilled gruyere cheese sandwich with house-made tomato soup. Insider tip: there are a few parking spots behind the restaurant if you get lucky!

This is an attractive restaurant with a professional and charming waitstaff. There is a good selection of craft and imported beers. Those are the highlights. The food unfortunately massively disappoints. From the overly sweet and insipid pico de gallo served with chips, to fish tacos that not only lack any flavor but seem like deep-fried fish sticks to tough, flavorless meat, our meal was lackluster. What tipped it to truly awful were the margaritas, which are weak, liquid candy and an appetizer that was some sort of pancake and a soggy mess, that would be better (though still terrible) at IHOP. Itâs hard to see how this place thrives: there are far better Mexican restaurants in Cambridge/Somerville and this is a local population who appreciates well prepared, authentic foods.

Authentic Home - Style Southern Food
Reviewed By JacquieInFlorence
This place is conveniently located just down the street from our Airbnb. The enticing aroma beckoned us, so we succumbed and went for dinner. It was not especially busy, so food was served up quickly. We opted to share the Barbecue Belt, which included 1 texas rib, 2 st louis ribs, 2 baby back ribs, sliced brisket & house smoked sausage, and two sides. The collard greens were as good as Grandma made. Hubby is a bean snob, but said the beans were good. The meat was more than we could eat, and was fall-oof-the bone tender with a nice smoky flavor. The sausage was a bit spicy, but good. We each enjoyed a new beer, the Delirium Nocturnum. It had a very pleasant flavor and nice finish!Our server was young. And, perhaps her level of service is what's expected in a casual restaurant like this. We're used to more pleasantries and hope she'll improve.

we came for lunch and had a good meal. Cod, carrots and spinach. And my partner meatloaf, mashed potatoes and carrots. Everything was good.We like the warm onion bread they serve first, with the dipping: olive oil, parmesan cheese and a little chili.The ambiance is nice and it is not over air-conditioned. They also have a pleasant bar and the staff is very friendly and helpful.Hi there,Glad you enjoyed everything - sounds like you had delicious meals. We'll be looking forward to seeing you again real soon.

You certainly have heard this 100 times, but the Boston Burger Company certainly has one of the best burgers in Mass. Not only the burgers, everything we have tried here is delicious!! This time I had the Killer Bee and the onion rings were delicious. The home made chip are also great.

This is food made fun! Can't say enough good things about the lobster melt. It had melt.. in your mouth flavor. The service was excellent. I recommend this place big time if you're in the Arlington area. As I told the server at the end of the meal, "This is my new favorite restaurant in Arlington".

I was staying next door at the Homewood Suites, with no car, so I went here 4 nights in a row. Staff is very friendly. I had the Taco of the Day twice. Nice! The chipotle wings were also yummy. And they know how to make a great dirty martini! A nice respite after a day in downtown. Highly recommend.
